6pm Sunday 3/31
Absolute trash on the aisle.
4 x GMC Arcadia (didn't catch the trim, but they looked uninspiring on my casual inspection)
1 x Malibu
1 x Impala
1 x Nissan Armada
2 x Ford Fusion Titanium
Upgrade
1 x Navigator
Usual mix of Nissan/Hyundai sedan's/SUVs.
There was 1 x Charger and 1 x Mercedes compact SUV but both had trunks closed. Didn't ask about them. Went with the Armada as it was fully loaded (SL model) & only had 800 miles on it. Wouldn't drive it again, did a 3hr haul and its very uncomfortable imo, middle arm rest is annoyingly low so unusable. Very bouncy/rolly and the V8 takes an age to get it moving. 15 mpg (!) was the best I could manage highway driving (not cos of my style either, I've managed 40 mpg in an Elantra before) so beware if you're gassing this up on your own dollar.

Chill out with the passive aggressiveness dude, just trying to help the DCA community by highlighting that Sunday evening might not present the best time slot selection wise, given that the examples being posted typically have at least 1 really good/premium option.

Point taken. I could have used a less aggressive tone. Sorry about that. But how is a selection of 2 mid size in top trim, 1 full size, 1 premium, 4 standard SUVs, 1 full size SUV, plus all the others you didn't mention, "absolute trash?"

Absolute trash is harsh, uninspiring is probably the correct term imo.

What's wrong with the Titanium and GMC Acadias? I'd have taken either of those two over your Armada. The Acadias tend to be in Denali or SLT trim and are pretty nice.

Nothing per se but I've been dining on brand new high spec Chargers, Lincoln's and Infiniti's my last few times, I've been spoiled!

Are you sure those are all upgrades? I thought the cars not under an upgrade sign or in one of the aisles were just set aside for reservations.
